Upgrade from Opera 12:----------------------To import your data from Opera 12, you must use version 4.2.9 of YouWatch and activate the Sync feature.Attention: 4.2.7 and 4.2.8 have errors, it will not be possible to sync with them over to YouWatch 5.0.

i tried to manage my subscriptions all seemed to go well all disappeared from the list all ticked, but when i click on my subs i get the message you have no subs, i cant manage them now because they all disappeared from the list the 1st time..

There is a problem. If you write a comment to the video, all the comments area disappears and does not appear when the page is reloaded. If you disable YouWatch, then everything appears. Please correct.

Because of the extention i can't use search at the youtube! Cursor does not appear and i simply can't type letters in search box.If extention is disabled - everything is okey.This bug appeared at 4 match in the evening. Before this, extention worked normally (maybe 3 months passed). I don't think i made something to trigger it..

Everything is okay, besides 1 thing:1. When I go to my "Watch Later" list some of my videos do not show up although I already tried un-adding and adding them again. The program seems to hide them from me for some reason.I would be really grateful if someone can help me with this.

Hey man, I have no idea what is keeping you busy and it is none of my business, but if you're not going to maintain this addon at least have the courtesy to remove this addon. It doesn't work properly and for the last week (probably because of a new version of the browser) it doesn't mark the videos as watched anymore.

Also the extra window that pops up with every start of the browser is annoying.

This addon is vital for me, because I watch lots of videos, but if you can't fix it, just tell us. I don't want to endlessly wait for a miracle.

For some reason, even though I have completed the sync SEVERAL times just to make sure...It brings me back to the sync page in a new window every time I open opera.Tested with all extentions except for youwatch off, same problem.

2 Current issues, first off if you click on a channels name and it has a space in it then youtube won't recognise the name and says the channel doesn't exist. The second is an older problem where updating subscriptions seems to hang and just stay on loading. Still an excellent extension though

Hi, Timmy.First of all, let me express my endless gratitude to you for making this extension. It is awesome and I can hardly believe I could even surf the Utubes before it came out. One should not type youtube.com unless he has your extension installed. So, keep up the good work, man. Appreciate it. =)

Now to my problem.I had to completely reinstall opera 12.16 today. One of the first things I did was installing youwatch. To my great surprise the sync function didn't have an option to use an existing account, only to create a new one.So is there a way to get my data back into the extension? I have a synced account on your server as well as a full backup of pre-re-installation opera user data. Is there anything I could do? Is there anything you could do?;-)Upgrading to "ChrOpera" is not an option for me (and judging from feedback at opera dev. blog I am not alone).

Oh thats true, the current Version for Opera 12 is only for backup.Totally forgot about that.

I will bring out a version shortly with the complete sync feature, I will try to do that on the weekend, so maybe next week there should be the new version out.

Please be patient ;)

P.S. you can watch the videos until than completely normal, when you activate the sync feature in the new version, the data from the server and your local data will be merged, so no video should be lost.

In this version its not possible to disable the subscriptions, because I haven't implemented the settings yet. Will come in one of the next versions.But actually, the YouWatch subscriptions should not interfere with the YouTube subscriptions. Otherwise than the Opera 12 version, this version does not replace the YouTube subscriptions but expand them.

The subscription button is replaced with the own of YouWatch, but when using it, it triggers also the YouTube subscription button (which is hidden). So it should be no problem to use the YouTube subscriptions.If you have any problems please describe it more.

Why can't you access the settings of YouWatch? Surly, there aren't any at the moment other than the Sync link.. But you can access the settings page with the "YouWatch Sync" link on it, or?

OK then! Anyway I just cant´t live without YouWatch anymore, so thank you for this. I will probably start using Opera for viewing YouTube videos, because no other browser has addon like this.

I implemented the setting for enable/disable the Subscriptions and it will come with the YouWatch 5.1 version, which will be released this week.

According to the description, it should be possible to import the subscriptions from existing Yt/Google accounts. For some reason, the extension does not recognise my account as a user, I get the message: This Youtube user does not exists (it should be 'exist', btw). That is particularly weird, as I was logged in to that account at that very moment. I tried it after logging out, I tried it with my other Gmail account, but none of them worked. Very annoying, since the update caused me to loose all my subscriptions in Youwatch itself.

Sorry for the long delay, but I was busy with my master thesis.I will look into that.

Von timmi:

28. Mai 2013

I looked into it and tried it with my account and it still worked.Did you typed in your E-Mail address from the Google account? Because thats the wrong one. You need to use your Channel name (if you have a channel) or your YouTube ID. You find your YouTube ID in the Account Settings -> Overview than click on "Advanced" below your email address. Also you need to be sure to remove the checkbox for "Keep all my subscriptions private" at Account Settings -> Privacy. (You can enable this again after you imported them).

Sorry for the long delay, but I was busy with my master thesis.I can confirm what you reported and will look into that.

I checked it more and can only reproduce the 100% on one core for around 5 to 10 seconds. Do you have a longer time span for this 100%? Also do you have this issue when you are logged in or logged out? And is it only on subscribed channels (with YouTube subscribed)? - Depending if you are subscribed or not, YouTube gives a different page.

Anonymer sagt:

This happens when I'm logged in and browse all videos or a playlist with a lot of watched videos in a new design channel. With old design channels there is no problem. I'm not subscribed to that channel.

For me its working. Does it only not hide newly watched videos or all? Check if the toolbar button is flashing sometimes, maybe your database is full.

Von dmnrmr:

My Domain Quota For Databases is 5120. Atm YouWatch extension showed in expert settings tha i only used 1399. When i open any video, watched button turns blue, then video hides from youtube page (if this page is opened in another tab), but when i refresh this page, video is there. And if i press watched button, theres is no trace of watched video.EDIT:It does not hide only newly watched videos. Old videos are hidden.EDIT2:I removed the videoinfo from database, and that seemed to fix the issue. However i don't understand why extension stopped working correctly if i still had space in db?

Von timmi:

The calculation is approx, so its a bit off sometimes, will look into it to make it more accurate.

YouWatch Like Button is "tied" to the other default YouTube buttons. While not a problem, when used with other extensions that remove those buttons or add their own, the YouWatch Like disappears. Only a minor issue. Would it be possible to alter this?

YouWatch stopped to dim videos on playlsis pages. When i browse some channel I can see videos that I already watched in video feed, but when I open any playlist that contains watched video - there no indication that I watched some video from this pl (maybe only mark from YT if I watched this video recently). There is no problem with database because I have this trouble on two profiles of Opera (one profile has ~5k videos, second - 350) and all profiles show history correctly and dim videos on any page except playlist page.

Not sure what's going on, but certain random videos aren't being marked as watched. The ones that are marked have mutiple colored ugly boxes around them rather than being grayed out like I've selected.

I'd check whether the videos have actually been marked as watched via the watched menu but the menu itself won't work either. It just remains blank when I click it.

All of the options in the preferences menu have a weird O prefix and bracket. For example, filter looks like {OFILTER}, making it hard to identify options quickly.

I have included screenshots of what is happening.http://i103.photobucket.com/albums/m148/Shadow45X/example.jpg

After reading of another user's problem, I realized mine was similar. I then tried the advice you gave him which was back up the pstorage folder, and reinstall the addon. I did so, and it has worked.HOWEVER. Despite backing up and adding back my pstorage folder, all of my watched videos are GONE. Not sure what to do to make this work. I've got the folder but it's acting like it's blank

Von shadow45x:

15. Mai 2012

OK. I've fixed it. Somehow the order of the files in the pstorage folder is different than what it was a few updates ago. Just take your biggest 0000000 file you backed up, watch a few videos, and place it over whichever 0000000 file increases afterward.

Von shadow45x:

15. Mai 2012

It would seem that I have spoken too soon. While this did indeed restore my watched videos, videos are still no longer being marked. The big ugly boxes are gone though.

Von shadow45x:

15. Mai 2012

I can only assume that this means there's a problem between my saved vids and this new update somehow

Von shadow45x:

15. Mai 2012

Well now I just feel silly. Turns out the problem was my database was full. I increased the size limit and everything works fine now.Though it did take a reinstall to fix those other weird problems.Woo Woo!

About the original Problem, with the wired boxes around the videos, this happens when the debug mode is enabled.

Today, suddenly I found that YouWatch was disabled on my extensions. When I enabled it, it updated to the new version (4.0).It's enabled now, but it's still not working. Here's what I already tried:-disabling it then enabling it-reinstalling it-restarting opera-changing my language on youtube to english (uk) and english (us) (I normally use dutch)

I only see "---" wherever there's supposed to be text when I open preferences.I'm not able to use it on youtube.

This is really strange and I have no idea why this happened. But i doubt that this is a extension problem, more a opera bug.You can backup your database (local opera profile, "widgets" folder, search the folder for YouWatch (look in widgets.dat) and backup the pstorage folder.) and completely uninstall the extension. Installing it again, copy the pstorage folder to the new folder and try what happens. If this is not working, try without copying the pstorage folder. And if this is not working, try a new opera profile (backup old).I have no further ideas for this, sorry.

Thank you very much. The problem is solved and it's working wonderfully now. I really love the update.

I tried to uninstall and reinstall in via opera, but that didn't work. After this I uninstalled again and deleted youwatch from the widgets folder. When I installed it again, it was working (one should backup though, because I did something wrong, because of which I lost my subscriptions. but no worries, i didn't have that many and I've managed to restore them)

1. Localization gets broken if debug mode is on.2. I had problems with users with capital letters in their names. Seems like extension imports subscription list from YT account and converts it to lowercase while API extension uses to import subscriptions is case sensitive.

1. Its intended. Its for finding non translated text and for translators to find the translation-id for specific text.2. Can you please be a more specific? Is it just the display of the names that bothers you or does the subscriptions not work?

Von paulsg1:

9. April 2012

1. Ok, still it's easier to simply copy English part of localization.js and use diff/merge tool. Well, nvm it's fine as long as it's intended. At start I had debug on and after update I had problems realising what's wrong.2. Well, subscription module gets broken. As I said before - seems like API issue. For example if you subscribe to totalhalibut you get nothing but if you subscribe to TotalHalibut there are proper results. Import converting usernames to lowercase brings lots of problems this way as my subscription list is pretty long.

Okay got it, is fixed and will be released in the next version (i think this week)

Extension works strange, videos from search are added to watched after opening, but from the home page the do not... or they are added but are not found on a home page, because sometimes after several page refreshes some of the watched videos become marked.

Is the video saved as watched? Look in the list when clicking "watched". If not, maybe your database is full. (the error console of opera should then have an entry like "database full")

If its saved correctly, i will look at it closer until tomorrow, couldn't find the error with the quick check I have done now.

Von shadow45x:

4. März 2012

Not sure why but it has started working again. I'll let you know if I happen to notice why any of this craziness happened

Von shadow45x:

4. März 2012

Well, it's marking things again, however old things that were marked are no longer marked.

Von timmi:

4. März 2012

Thats crazy. Have you looked if all videos are still saved in the database? Look at the number at the upper right of the "Watched videos"-page.

Von shadow45x:

4. März 2012

31 videos, and I'm certain I had hundreds. Not sure what happened.

Von shadow45x:

4. März 2012

I'd assume the database was full and decided to delete itself? I didn't get any errors though...

Von timmi:

5. März 2012

The only delete code the extension has, is the delete button in the preferences. Normally opera should alert the user when the database is full, but sadly there is an error that extension databases do not alert.In the next version I am currently working on is a detection for full databases. Hopefully something like this will then never happen again.

Maybe there is an shadow file from windows for the database file, go the to local opera profile, widgets folder, search the right folder (look into widgets.dat to get the right folder name for YouWatch), pstorage folder, look for the biggest file. Maybe there is a backup from your system. There is currently sadly no sqlite recovery program out there.

I don't know what happened, but after last update addons worked fine for couple of days and now it's working incorrectly. Sometimes it doesn't hide videos from man page (where videos from subscriptions are shown), sometimes i watch video and it doesn't get marked as watched. How can I fix this issue?

Please check if the "Watched" link at the YouTube navigation (right near the search field) is present at the times YouWatch does not work (e.g not hiding videos). When its not present, its a caching bug of opera, just hit F5 for reload.

If its present, I at the moment can not reproduce it. Then i will look deeper into it.

Von dmnrmr:

22. Februar 2012

Ok, now I see. Sometimes when I load videos, there is now "watched" link on top, thus not marking this videos as watched. And you were right, this is opera bug. I just don't know why it worked perfectly before and now it's glitchy.

Von shadow45x:

2. März 2012

Mine have stopped being marked as watched altogether again. Tried refreshing, etc. Not sure what happened.

Von shadow45x:

2. März 2012

Oh and I forgot to mention that the "Watched" link is there. It is there on the main page, and it is there on the actual video. Yet when I watch the video and go to the main page, it is not marked as watched, even after refreshing.
